This take that song was made and released in 1995, this song was towards the end of the band's success before they broke up. The music video for 'Never forget' features a variety of different videos and photos of the band in their younger years and some of their biggest moment in their music careers, it also shows clips of their live performances and their audiences reaction to their music. Using such clips as this portrays the success and power that their band gained over the years between 1990 and 1996. Simiarly featuring personal clips and footage of the band mates in their younger years builds the sense of pesonailsation and removes the barrier between fan and celebrity; using this they allow their fans to feel closer to the band, creating the impression that the band are connected with their fans and creating the sense that their are 'just like everyone else' and 'human'.

A newer song of theirs, after their comeback, is 'The Flood'. his song was released in 2010, as this was their first song reunited as a band it was already sought after. In this stage of their career they had an incredibly large fan base, their older fans from their original days, combined with the newer fans on the 21st century.
